Crafting with Kids

Gregory is a rough and tough four year old, but he has a soft side that loves to cuddle so I thought making a stuffed animal together would be the perfect craft. We decided on a kitten and cut out a rectangle of felted wool. Instead of stitching, I put hot glue along the edges and had Gregory carefully press the sides together. He picked out some buttons to glue on as eyes, then decided to cut a mouth and fangs out of some spare wool. I did show and help him stitch on some whiskers, but the rest of the kitty was all his doing.

Can I just tell you how amazingly talented you are?!? I LOVE your blog and want to try to make everything that you show because you make it look so easy. Thank you thank you thank you for doing this blog and for the detailed pictures and instructions!!! Keem 'em coming please!
